Imagine one day you're walking around, no nervous system, then BAM: Immediate agonizing nervous system pain

And this was the anime that revealed to me that the Pokemon Rapidash was based off a mythically created yokai of a dying horse mother

I’m i the only one who noticed that he said her name every time incorrectly? It’s Dororo, not Dorodoro

[@KingAnimeRecaps]

Can we all appreciate the fact about osamu tezuka is a god amongst manga artists with masterpieces that lead to anime such as this? It's insane how this is based off of 50+ year old material!

I’ll bow down to a guy who makes the camera man his own anime

From the title I’d assume it’s a horrible dhar man video

[@ruthiewitter569]

I’ve watched the show the whole way through, I assure you, it’s worth the pain that happens. It’s beautiful

To think this story would have ended at birth if a goddess of Mercy didn’t sacrifice its head so that the hero would get to keep his head.

It's Do-Ro-Ro, not Doro-doro.

when you had to sacrofice your son for power but the gods have other stuff on their mind

The horse part really made me sad 😩 taken from her child , blown to bits, resurrected as a badass fire horse, then dies after she sees her kid. Damn .. humans never gave her a break 😭 it's just an anime but gaddam this is sad

[@grantmccoy6739]

Definitely too violent and bloody for my taste, but obviously a really well made anime.

[@sosig6445]

one crucial detail left out from the beginning wich makes the damyio less evil, is when he made the deal with demons his realm was at the brink of collapse and his people were starving, and when the boy reclaimed his body parts the disasters that plauged his land returned. he basicly had no choice but to fight his own son or let thousands of his people die.

Hoshi being a character in this is so interesting because he is a very popular man in a very popular Japanese legend. He is blind, and whilst waiting for his owner to come home, he plays his biwa. The ghost of a samurai from a very sad slaughter in history hears Hoshi and demands he plays for the other victims of the massacre. When the owner comes home, he finds out about this, and when it comes time for him to leave again he makes his other followers paint special kanji all over him, to make it so the samurai doesn’t see him. The only problem? They’d forgotten Hoshi’s ears! The ghost can only see those, so he rips them right off of Hoshi to show he went to go see the blind, now deaf, man. Hoshi continues to play his biwa after and becomes widely known for his talent, never seeing the ghosts ever again.

"When you sacrificed all 48 of my body parts to the demons, I was left for dead. Until Jukai found me. A final gift from the gods. In that moment, I received some semblance of hope. An opportunity to grieve unalone. And you stole that from me! Stole that from me! Killed that from me! People keep asking if I'm back. And I haven't really had an answer. But now, yeah, I'm thinkin' I'm back! So you can either hand over what's rightfully mine... or you can die screaming alongside the demons!"

The opening of this ver of Dororo is one of the BEST anime openings I've ever heard in my life and I've been watching anime since I was an infant. Like there's no question in my mind whenever I watch this anime I NEVER EVER skip the opening. Gods bless the singer and the producers for casting him to do the OP.
